Tangier Quotes

• As a young child I wanted to be a writer because writers were rich and famous. They lounged around Singapore and Rangoon smoking opium in a yellow pongee silk suit. They sniffed cocaine in Mayfair and they penetrated forbidden swamps with a faithful native boy and lived in the native quarter of Tangier smoking hashish and languidly caressing a pet gazelle.

• Always was Morocco. And recently the country's leadership seems to have embraced it in all its ill-reputed glory. The days of predatory poets in search of literary inspiration and young flesh are probably over for good. Hippies can just as easily get their bong riffs in Portland or Peoria. But the good stuff, the real good stuff, the sounds and smells and the look of Tangier -- what you see and hear when you lean out the window and take it all in -- that's here to stay.

• Un fotógrafo que quiera ver....debe reconocer el valor de lo familiar. Tu capacidad de ver no aumenta por la distancia que pongas entre tu casa y tú. Si no ves lo que te rodea cada día, ¿qué verás cuando vayas a Tánger?....Ver bien no asegura hacer buenas fotografías, pero una buena expresión fotográfica es imposible sin ello.
